(Casper, Wyo.) - At approximately 4:00 pm on Wednesday, August 10th the Casper Police Department responded to the area of 11th Street and Trigood in Casper for a weapon offense.

Upon arrival officers spoke with a male who reported that his windows had been shot out by a male with a handgun as he drove by.

Officers were able to speak with a witness/neighbor who had video surveillance set up and they were able to verify the report and partially identify a male suspect and his vehicle, a silver Jeep.

The male was identified as thirty-seven-year-old Doyle Gabbert, who officers had been searching for, due to a probation and parole violation.

At approximately 8:00 pm that evening, according to reports, the silver Jeep was located backing out of a driveway at East 11th Street. A traffic stop was initiated and the driver, identified as Robin Larson, was transported to the Casper Police Department for questioning.

Officers informed Larson that they were searching for Gabbert and executed a search warrant of the silver Jeep. In the jeep, officers located a purse, with a smaller purse inside which contained several small zip lock bags, which contained a white crystallized substance, white residue, and a small silver scale.

A search and seizure of the controlled substances was obtained and the substances tested positive for methamphetamine and weighed approximately five ounces.

Officers advised Larson of the meth that they had found in her purse and she reported in court records that the drugs belonged to Gabbert. She claimed that she was holding onto the drugs as he asked her to until he returned in a few hours. She advised officers that she knew the substances to be methamphetamine, but she did not know how much meth was in her purse.

Following the interview with Larson, she was arrested and charged with a felony possession of meth.

Officers continued to search for Gabbert, until he was located Friday, August 12th.
